Council Minutes of 9/6/83 -8- Mr. Wilamosky stated tha.t he was shocked and surprised, because he did vote 0 to excuse Mrs. Petrigac's absence, thinking that she had a legitimate reason not to be in attendance at the Council Meeting. He was shocked and appalled to walk into the Community Cabin and see Mrs. Petrigac in attendance. Felt that Mrs. Petrigac could have attended the Council Meeting first and still been allowed to give her report to Community Council later. Other Members of Council were here, attended to their responsibilities,and also attended the Comaunity Council Meeting in time to hear Mrs. Petrigac's report there, so she could have made both meetings. Mr. Wilamosky would have been less concerned and bothered if Mrs. Petrigac's absence had been due to her simply staying home and putting her feet up because sfie was tired. Mr. Woerpel stated that each Councilman was entitled to vote as he saw fit in excusing the absence of a fellow member. However, this is an attack and an "issue" presented by Mrs. Saringer and Mr. McKay and Mr. Wilamosky, simply because they are running for office and hope to make this a campaign issue; it has no place at the Council table. Mrs. Petrigac is being subjected to a personal attack when it is Mr. McKa.y who kept postponing the vote on this particular legislation, again and again. Mr. Logan asked if Mrs. Saringer would withdraw her motion so he could make another one. Mrs. Saringer stated she did not want to withdraw it at this time. Stated she had nothing political in mind; Mr. Woerpel is the one saping it is political. She just wants Council to reconsider the motion because she wanted to change her vote. Mrs. Saringer withdrew her previous motion to reconsider and moved to susnend Rule 38 which Mr. Wilamosky had indicated he would second. Mr. Bierman called for the question, second by Mr. Logan. Roll call on call for the question: Affirmative vote: Bierman, Logan, McKay, Saringer, Wilannosky. Negative vote: Petrigac, 14'oerpel. Motion carried. Mr. Woerpel stated that a call for the question requires a unanimous vote. Motion th.erefore failed. Roll call on Mrs. Saringer's motion for suspension of Council Rule 38: Affirmative vote: MeKay, Saringer, Wilamosky. Negative vote: Bierraan, Logan, Petrigac, Woerpel. 3 Aye - 4 Nay -- Motion failed.

Mr. Wilamosky seconded this motion. Mr. Woerpel protested that this motion was out of order and left the Cauncil table and Council Chambers ; time was 10: 20 P.M.
